Alignment of Omega D5V-XL Enlarger
i'v brought this used enlarger home and settled it well. but I found
the chassis inclining a degree which is too large to me, thus when do some large works, the projected image will go out of the margin of the baseboard. i think if i reduce the inclining degree (make the chassis more vertical against the baseboard) i can make the projected image going more center in the baseboard hence keep it from leaving baseboard. but i am not su 1, is the chassis adjustable for the inclining degree? and how to? I only found screws which let me rotate the chassis. 2, if the chassis changed its inclining degree, how about the nagative plate? will it still keep parallel to the baseboard? i am not sure if or not i well described my problem - narke |

You are working against the engineering of the system. Instead, get a larger, flat, laminated 3/4" board and place it on the existing baseboard. Counter-sink four bolts, and fasten it down level. That's what I did for the same enlarge. It works fine. |

But do not try to change the angle of the coluum. Ken Hart |

do i need drill holes on two board in order to bolt them together? i
think it is not easer to do. how about buy a easel and put half of easel on the baseboard and use the other half to extend the area? - narke |

That's what I did. Set the new board on top of the old one. Clamp them together (or not), and drill straight through. Then countersink the top holes. A countersink is cheap, as are drill bits. 1/4" bolts are sufficient. |
